Artemis Fowl

My teacher read the first one, and I kinda hated her reading it. (I don't think the reading exercises helped either)

I HATE when I get books read to me.

When I read them myself, I read them at my own pace, so I decided to get another Artemis Fowl book, and I haven't read it all, because it wasn't mine, but I read a few chapters and they are great books.
 
iMerge with older Threads on this topic.

I have read the first three books now, and they are fab. I want to get the latest one soon, when I can afford another book.
 
I loved the Artemis Fowl books! :) Artemis is definitely my favorite character and I love how he evolves throughout the series. Eoin Colfer is a great author, I really liked his book "Wish List" too. He's very original. Most of the fantasy books that I've read take place in the past or present so it was interesting to read a book that takes place in the future. About the movie, is it ever really coming out? I first heard about it around 5 years ago. It doesn't seem like they're making much progress.
 
Welcome, Natasia, I didn't see you post before. I like your avi!

I know nothing about the movie ... so no help there ... but I agree with you one of the strengths of the Fowl books so far is Artemis' evolution. Very touching.
:)
I haven't read the latest one, I assume it conitnues there.
 
I LOVE the Artemis Fowl series. i have them all except the eternity code, but i've already read it. *sings* some day the movie will come out.......
 
whoa, ok, i didn't realize so many people HAD read it!!!!!!!!!!! whoa again!!!!!!

anways, i LOVE artemis! he's sooo cool! but juliet is mi fave!!!!!!!! Hi-Yah!!!!!!! though girls rule this world, we do!!!!!!!!!!
also, any girl who does martial arts rocks!!!! i meet very few who do martial arts (i do Tae Kwon Do!)
 
What belt have you? My niece does Tae Kwon Do and is some degree of blackbelt. Whatever she is, she is only 14, and she cannot attain her next level until she is 18? She goes to a school associated with American TaeKwonDo Association. She is quite amazing to me, the control of her body and her level of fitness for a young girl.

And you are right, Juliet rocks!
:)
 
maybe I am missing something

I had heard how great these books were, so I read the first one and was only so-so with it. It didn't hold my interest and took me a while to complete it. I bought the second one and can't finish it. Part of my annoyance with the first book, was the level of unbelievablity (I'm not talking about the fairies, that's a given), but the train sequence. I used to work in the Nuclear Power industry on a fast attack sub. When he describes waste as green and glowing like a bad hollywood film, I actually laughed. Maybe I need to set aside what I know and push that to the back and I can enjoy them.

Sorry, I guess I'm being Debby Downer (oops, showing my age), but I thought another opinion was in order. I think he also made a couple of statements that were a bit liberal and offended my conservative inclinations. Maybe I misunderstood something there.
 
I've read the first 2 books and can't wait to read the others and see the movies I LOVE ARTEMIS FOWL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THey're awesome!!!!!!!
GO HOLLY!!!!!
